Ex-qb: Oklahoma Still Guilty

September 30, 1990

NEW YORK — Former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson, in a Texas prison for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, said Saturday the infractions that led to the Sooners` three-year NCAA probation are still going on.

In an interview on ESPN`s college football pregame show, Thompson also repeated his allegations about crimes committed in the athletic dorms and former coach Barry Switzer`s unconcerned attitude toward it.

``There are gang rapes that have happened here,`` Thompson said. ``A lot of the players had hunting rifles and guns and pistols in their rooms. It`s a situation where a lot of students come and live together . . . things can get out of hand.``

Thompson previously has admitted to accepting money from the football staff.

``Barry Switzer is one of the coaches who`s given me cash, for whatever reason,`` Thompson told ESPN. Other players, he said, ``are still being taken care of.``

Switzer, who recently wrote a book of his own, denied all of Thompson`s allegations.
